In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are constantly seeking innovative solutions to stay ahead of the curve and drive growth. Enter SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, customer data center option (RISE PE-CDC) with Dell Technologies, which enables companies to harness the power of SAP's RISE strategy while retaining control and minimizing costs associated with hyperscaler models.

At its core, RISE PE-CDC combines the best of both worlds, offering businesses access to SAP's cutting-edge innovations, cloud consumption model, and robust support while steering clear of the complexities and risks associated with traditional hyperscaler models. This unique solution empowers companies to leverage AI, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Signavio, and other future-proof developments without compromising on flexibility or scalability.

One key advantage of adopting RISE PE-CDC with Dell Technologies is the assurance of access to the world's most modern and optimized data management platform. With documented cost savings of 30% or more and enhanced business performance, businesses can rest easy knowing they're supported by Dell Technologies' end-to-end stack, spanning compute to storage, and encompassing cybersecurity and protection measures.

A recent success story from the public sector in EMEA South illustrates the transformative impact of RISE PE-CDC with Dell Technologies. Upon completing their implementation, the client experienced a myriad of benefits, including seamless integration of existing non-SAP and financial applications, increased automation in standardized processes to reduce errors, enhanced efficiency, and a reduced cost of ownership. Moreover, they gained a holistic view of performance and key indicators, enabling agile decision-making based on real-time insights.

By embracing RISE PE-CDC with Dell Technologies, businesses can unlock a host of advantages, including:

  1. Cost Savings: With documented savings of 30% or more, companies can allocate resources more efficiently and invest in future growth initiatives.

  4. Risk Mitigation: By avoiding complex migrations and retaining control over their data management, businesses minimize the inherent risks associated with traditional hyperscaler models.

In conclusion, SAP RISE PE-CDC with Dell Technologies represents a paradigm shift in the way businesses approach digital transformation.
